[Spoken Intro]
No, I don't care
I mean, hey, I got Penny

There comes a time in every girl's life when she's really got to ask herself deep down inside
"Is she ready to be going steady?"
Don't faint dead away
But I honestly believe that one month should be enough
Well, first of all, let's see if dating this one boy Johnny
And one day Johnny asked me to be his steady girl

There comes a time where she's got to ask herself
"Steady or not? I mean, do you really want to be Johnny's steady?"
Don't think that a woman could honestly believe that one month should be just about enough
Well, first of all, let's see if dating that one boy Johnny a few times

[Verse 1]
Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you want to date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time
And haven't been too serious
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she prefers the company of others
To your exclusive company
But if you're honest, and direct
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech
When you break the news
The boy will respect you for your frankness
And honestly he'll appreciate the kind and
Straightforward manner in which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends
